I had an awesome epiphany today when I realized I could utilize the opera browser to play Newgrounds Duck Hunt on my Wii. If only Shrike would finish Parrot Hunt.

Ah, indeed. There's a site around somewhere that has gathered many mouse-only flash games together, due to the fact that they are perfectly compatible with Wii's pointer.

I've just discovered how many friends of mine have MySpace accounts. I've also discovered that if you guffaw for about 45 seconds hard enough, you begin to feel dizzy. Sooooo emo...

Who knows if this is the longest thread and don't act so new--be ready to jump into a conversation and just be cool.

StevenHerman is a troll (and the worst person in my books.) He posts many homophobic comments, steals articles from the net (modifies them) and post them as his own "genius," AND he posts many photoshopped pictures of his body. While he may have a great bod, his photoshopping skills are very obvious (such as the removal of all wrinkles, smoothing of skin and pathetically fake enlargement of male anatomical parts.)

Damien Flagg, the poster whom Fenrus below refers, was a regular (and an asshole) whom many of us both hate and love (more on the hate side.) He tends to be self-destructive and we in particular have rather heated arguments on homosexuality issues because, though both of us are queer, we abide on WAY different sides on gay political issues.

He has a way to make bloody diaherra mixed with lemon juice coming from a bloody asshole more pleasent than having a conversation with him.

I have wondered about this, but... before going on,
What made you believe in this?

Is there something that I didn't catch when I went missing?

I knew there was no love lost between you two, but DAMN.

What are you talking about?
Not trying to be snobby... but to quote my play "Love. Hate." (okay, that's going to be so snobby no matter how I put it but oh well...)

"You can't hate anybody you don't love."

So true. It's all part of the eternal balance of the universe. Like Pleasure-Pain, Clever-Dumb, Respectablememberofsociety-Asshole...

I was not aware that your dislike for Damien ran so deep.

"You can't hate anybody you don't love."

It's to early in the day for me to be doing such deep thinking like this.

Have a few drinks and I'm sure it'll all become clear to you.

It's never too early when you haven't slept for days. Basically it's saying that without an initial emotional investment the spark of dissapointment or outrage that brings on hate couldn't exist. However I find fli's hypothosis to be overly simplistic. The emotional investment could exist in the person as evidenced in Bill Cosbys observation of his parents granddparenting style "This is not the person who raised me. This is an old person trying to get into heaven", the situation itself, pre-existing contrary values or just a bad moment.

I don't know, some sort of feeling kinda.

Kinda like a gut feeling.

And partial memories that I can still remember.

There has to be emotional investment in hate although I won't say a person necesarilly needs to first love another person to hate him or her. Now, I don't really understand your Bill Cosby example, so you need to run that through me, however... I'll continue with my interprutation on that statement.

You hate a person because you love that person just enough to know what's going on with them. I remember being in High School and I hated this guy named Ozcar. God, what a fucking prick. Whenever I heard a rumor about him, you know who would be the first one there to listen. Me-- I had just enough emotional value in him to do what is miminal requirement in love: to know my him (albiet, not in a nice way.)

Love and Hate are part of Passion.
And you cannot have Passion without one or another.

If you love a person... it's passion.
If you hate a person... it's also passion.

Having hate means that there is enough emotional investment to invoke such feelings because, otherwise if you had not passion, you wouldn't care for the person. That person would be a nobody.

If I didn't have hate for Ozcar, then he would have been a stranger for me: not worthy enough to remember his name if it wasn't coincidentally.

I would use it...
if only I didn't feel so narcissistic about it.

I disagree with your position on hate, fli. I hate almost everyone and I can sure as hell say that I don't "hate them because I love them." My hate is based on a general feeling of the worthlessness and artificiality of people.

Yes but last I checked energy could only be used once. Yes the initial investment could have been anything but it has since been defined.

And my Bill Cosby example was just to show an example of conflict affecring existing emotions.

And thanks for not laughing at the sig. Visual art just isn't my gig.

My problem yesterday morning wasn't a lack of sleep, it was more like too much medication. I had just started a regimen of Luvox to help with my o.c.d. the night before, and made the mistake of taking two Tylenol PM along with it before bed.

Mild antidepressant + a pain reliever containing benadryl = one HARD night of sleep and a zombified me the next day. I understand what fli was getting at now, but yesterday it was to much of a high concept for me to wrap my head around.

"This is not the person who raised me. This is an old person trying to get into heaven"

And my Bill Cosby example was just to show an example of conflict affecting existing emotions.

You see, I get that and understand it completely. When my parents went to retrieve my grandfather and help him move in here 6 months before he died, they found him sitting in his recliner with a bible on one part of his lap and a .22 semi-automatic Luger pistol sitting on the other part of his lap. He lived out in the middle of the sticks where no one would bother him, so security wasn't really an issue... he just wanted to die. He was to a small extent the kind caring man I remembered from my youth, but when I found out about that pistol it changed my opinion of him. To me he was just another old soul waiting for death's release.

And personally? Had I known at that point in time how miserable his life was going to be during the months leading up to his death, I would not have blamed him in the least bit if he would have done himself in.

Damn... Now I'd wished I'd gone. I could sing some of my smash hits, like "Liberate the Cheese" or "Voodoo Woman Stole My Penis".

You know, as opposed to the songs I worked really hard on that noone cares about or listens to.

Yes: http://www.lulu.com/content/220552

Not in any seriousness, though. It was nothing more than an 53 page amalgamation of my first BBS posts. It was inspired by a 25 paragraph blog post JoS had made about Canadian hardwood subsidies or some other dry, boring topic.

Works even better for kids of the same gender, and even better still if they're related. That's my go-to move with fighting kids. I just tell them that's how little kids show each other that they're interested. It's funny to see how quickly they move away from each other.
